Late Mail: Round 9 v Dolphins

Craig Bellamy has confirmed his line-up for tonight’s Round 9 clash with the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium.

The starting team features a senior debut for local product Hugo Peel, who becomes just the seventh Victorian to represent the Club at NRL level. The young winger has impressed to start 2026, crossing for six tries in six NSW Cup appearances.

In the forward pack, Trent Loiero moves into the starting side at lock, replacing Alec MacDonald (low-grade hamstring strain).

The bench features two potential Club debuts, with Victorian product and utility back Trent Toelau named on the bench, alongside 2025 signing Josiah Pahulu.

Tonight's game kicks-off at 8pm, live on Channel 9 and Fox Sports.
